Metals and other magnets are the only objects that are attracted to magnets.

However, many metals are NOT attracted to magnets. Copper, stainless steel, brass, gold, silver, zinc, and aluminum are a few metals that are NOT attracted to magnets.

The best way to discover if the object will be attracted to a magnet is to introduce it to a magnet.

Standard circulation strikes are made of almost pure nickel so they'll be attracted to a magnet. In addition the coins will have a slightly darker appearance similar to US nickel coins.

Is it copper or what magnetic force around a magnet?

The magnetic force around a magnet can be a lot of things. Just some things are stronger and some are less strong. Copper is absolutely not magnetic at all, you can experiment that by trying to pick up a penny with a magnet. I am not sure what is the magnetic part of a magnet, but I think it might be close to iron. Something like that. I do know though what is attracted to magnets. Iron, bolt, paper clips, and the metal part on scissors.


How you know if an object has more electrons or protons?
